In my case it was trial and error that helped me. Also using Plug-ins for Photoshop was a big boost. I never used B&W ink sets because they were expensive and difficult to deal with along with poor customer support. I have been a photographer for almost 50 years, first as a Fashion guy and now I am doing Fine Art. David Neely

I have decades of experience with darkroom printing but none with digital. I want to learn the complete workflow. Most of what I've found online is dated and incomplete. My goal is to print high quality warm tone matte B&W with my Epson Photo 1400 while getting the best bang for the buck. What's the best way to get up to speed on the subject? 





As I understand it there are two high quality B&W inksets: Roark (inkjetmall.com) and Cone (inksupply.com). The EB-6 inkset (inksupply.com) seems to be best in terms of cost but customer support seems to be zero. Any help greatly appreciated.
